"That's the thing for me. I don't want to just play football. I want to play football where people care about it and there's excitement and the fans care about it, the community cares about it. Montana, that's the place."





Yes, Montana. This is the place.

I recall, long ago, a story about a college coach, who preferred farming country of western PA as his recruiting ground. The story goes that when he saw a kid behind a horse, plowing, he'd ask the kid for directions. If the kid gave him directions by lifting up the plow w/ one hand to point, that kid would be on his team. Some of you may have a more accurate version of this story.

Not the first story of it's kind, but definitely one worth repeating. Country kids grow up tough, it shouldn't be a surprise to too many Montanans.
